Accepted payment methods
We accept the most common, trusted payment options so you can choose the one that suits you:- Visa (credit and debit)
- Mastercard (credit and debit)
- PayPal — for faster, account-based checkout
- Bank transfer — for direct BACS or account payments
We deploy SSL encryption across our payment pages so that data is encrypted between your browser and our payment processors. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) ensures that card numbers, account references and personal details are transmitted in encrypted form. Look for the secure indicators in your browser when using the Gardeners Downham secure payments area to confirm the connection is active and encrypted.
PCI compliance and card security
Our handling of card payments meets PCI DSS requirements when we store, process or transmit cardholder data. This means our systems and processes follow stringent rules for access control, network security and data protection. For card payments, we use tokenisation and secure gateways so that full card details are never retained unnecessarily in our systems.
When you choose PayPal, the card details are managed by PayPal's secure platform and we receive a confirmation token. For bank transfers, we provide clear instructions for the required reference and confirm receipt before scheduling or completing work. These options ensure flexibility while maintaining a consistent level of security across the Gardeners Downham payments area.
To reduce risk we monitor transactions for suspicious activity and use fraud detection tools alongside manual review where needed. Our team follows secure handling procedures and limits access to payment data. Data minimisation is a core practice — we only collect what is necessary to process your payment and maintain records required for legitimate business and accounting purposes.
If you have an invoice or a scheduled payment, you can pay using any accepted method above. Payments are reconciled against job records using secure identifiers so that your account and service records remain accurate. We strongly advise using a private device and network when accessing the gardeners downham payments area to avoid using public or untrusted Wi-Fi for financial transactions.
In summary, the Gardeners Downham secure payments area combines SSL encryption, strict PCI compliance, tokenisation, and multiple trusted payment options to give you a reliable and safe payment experience. We prioritise your financial security so you can book and pay for gardening services with confidence. Please review your payment method details before confirming payment and keep your confirmation reference for your records.
